The recent appointments Of women to fill
high political positions, such as mayor, etc,
brings to prominence all the great female
agitators OF women's rights Most prominent
among numbers of women who have devoted
their time to this sgitating problem Is Susan
II. Anthony, whose lahoIs in the cause OF jus.
u,e aud tn emancipa,i) IN of women fpm the
laws, rules anu customs laid down 10y the
sterner sex, have been indefatigable since
she was quite young woman. Her conceE-
tiops of injustice to women were early
aroused, growing with her years and gsining
in strength and character until in 49, she
became one of the leading spirits in every
Woman's Rights convention held in America.
She has filled Offices in various ASSOCIATIONS
formed for the advancement OF the woinen's
rights movement became, and Is still secre-
tary of the national assOciatior. Like Lucre-
tia Mot, Mira Csdy Elizabeth Stanton and
others, Susan Il. Anthony was an ardent
co.worker with Wendell Phillips and Lloyd
Garrison in the cause for the abolition of
slavery until the emancipation edlct gave the
negro full freedom and equal rights Susan
Brow nell Anthony WAS born al South Adams,
Massachusetts,, on February 18th, $50 and
wss the daughter of sensible, quiet Quaker
parents, who no more dreamed ol seeing their
daughter in position OF such active publicity
than they did ot seeiug miracles performed
